WASHINGTON (AP) — Acknowledging the struggles of the nation's veterans, President Barack Obama on Thursday signed legislation intended to reduce a military suicide epidemic that is claiming lives by the day.
"If you are hurting, know this. You are not forgotten," Obama said, addressing soldiers and veterans as he prepared to affix his signature to the law...Fri, 13 Feb 2015 02:51:20 GMThttp://www.mail.com/scitech/health/3353100-obama-signs-veterans-suicide-prevention-bill.html2015-02-13T02:51:20ZSnow delays vote on Senate bill to address veterans' suicidehttp://www.mail.com/news/politics/3334640-snow-delays-vote-senate-bill-to-address-veterans-suicide.html
WASHINGTON (AP) — An expected vote on a Senate bill aimed at reducing a suicide epidemic among military veterans was delayed Monday by a winter storm that walloped the Midwest and Northeast.
The storm caused the cancellation of flights, classes and major court cases across the Northeast and dumped more than a foot-and-a-half of snow on the Chicago area.

WASHINGTON (AP) — One colleague called the tactics of tea party-backed Sen. Ted Cruz on the $1.1 trillion spending bill a painful echo of last year's 16-day partial government shutdown.
Another senator said it was a strategy without an end game. And that sniping came from Cruz's fellow Republicans. The 43-year-old Texas freshman in a political hurry — he'...Sun, 14 Dec 2014 15:17:39 GMThttp://www.mail.com/news/politics/3259686-ted-cruzs-moves-spending-bill-roil-republicans.html2014-12-14T15:17:39ZCongress sends Obama $1.1 T spending billhttp://www.mail.com/news/politics/3258544-congress-sends-obama-11-t-spending-bill.html
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress cleared a $1.1 trillion spending bill for President Barack Obama's signature late Saturday night after a day of Senate intrigue capped by a failed, largely symbolic Republican challenge to the administration's new immigration policy.
The vote was 56-40 in favor of the measure, which funds nearly the entire government through the...Sun, 14 Dec 2014 04:38:27 GMThttp://www.mail.com/news/politics/3258544-congress-sends-obama-11-t-spending-bill.html2014-12-14T04:38:27ZGOP win mean new leaders for Senate committeeshttp://www.mail.com/scitech/news/3198134-gop-win-leaders-senate-committees.html
WASHINGTON (AP) — One new committee chairman favors more U.S. forces in Iraq to counter the growing threat from Islamic State militants. Another has written about global warming as a hoax. A third has the 2010 financial overhaul law in his sights.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's controversial selection of Michael Boggs to become a federal judge in Georgia lacks enough votes to survive and the nomination should be withdrawn, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Monday in what amounts to a rare rebuff of the president from his own party.
The fate of Boggs's nomination has be...Mon, 22 Sep 2014 21:52:52 GMThttp://www.mail.com/news/world/3111482-senator-drop-nomination-controversial-judge.html2014-09-22T21:52:52Z
